Rosie O'Donnell Says Women Might Have To Start Their Own Political Party

Rosie O’Donnell railed against Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee Chairman Ben Ray Luján’s
recent revelation that there will be no “litmus test” for Democratic candidates
entering the 2018 midterm elections. This led Ms. O’Donnell to tweet out a plea
urging her female fans to start their own party if the Democratic Party backs
candidates who don’t support abortion rights.

Luján told The Hill: “As we look at candidates across the country, you need to
make sure you have candidates that fit the district, that can win in these
districts across America.” This statement enraged the already unstable
O’Donnell, who then posted this follow-up tweet: “Fight the men who want to
take away womens rights IN OUR OWN PARTY? f—k them for even considering it-
seriously- #IStandWithPP.” (Sic). Sick.

O’Donnell also recently
shared a link to an online game that allows players to push President Trump off
a cliff, making it doubly clear that she is a big fan of casual cruelty as well
as murder. It is telling that she claims to be adamantly “pro-choice,” yet is
so vehemently- and viciously- against the Democratic Party possibly backing a
candidate who might have a more open mind on (at least) that one subject.

After her party lost to Trump in
the most recent presidential election due to its outright disdain for those in
the heartland who hold differing views than their fellow citizens nestled in
the wombs of coastal metropolises, one would think Rosie would cheer the
rational approach to the mid-term elections that Luján is taking. But, maybe
she just hates Latinos. Or men. Or both.

Ironically, if women, long the mainstays of the DFL, were to
give birth to “their own party,” they would be essentially repealing the 19th
Amendment, as well as condemning the Democratic Party to utter irrelevance for
the foreseeable future, in effect aborting both party’s votes.

Even more ironically, hers is the only viable path forward that
can save the United States of America, as the more perceptive of you will
realize I’ve just stated.

Go, Rosie, go!

Permit me, if you will, another
observation.

Starting one’s own party because
the one of which you currently are a member may decide to let someone who isn’t strictly
pro-the-murder-of-babies-for-one’s-own-convenience run for office is bizarrely,
militantly, heinously, intolerant.

This would be like men starting
their own party because the one they are a member of considered backing a
candidate who might not be completely comfortable with “pro-choice” men’s
assertions that they should be allowed to routinely, brutally, rape women (and
receive taxpayer funding to do so!) because no one has the right to “dictate
what they do with their own bodies.”

It is a shame that O’Donnell’s
own parents apparently did not share her extreme views on abortion.

An Ode To Life

Appreciate all you have, as it- and you- will soon be gone. Leave no heartfelt words unspoken, no sweet gesture incomplete, no act of love undone. Love your spouse with passion and abandon, your kids with patience and understanding but also a firm guidance. Love also the truth, no matter how hard. If pursued by enough people with enough courage, it really will set us free.

And don't forget, we didn't ask to be born. We didn't create ourselves. We are not gods. There is a higher power.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."- Winston Churchill
